Well, this is interesting. RIAA's site was hit again, and according to the article, it was more than DoS (or DDoS), it was a defacement. The mirror of the defacement is here.

The article is here: http://www.vnunet.com/News/1134758

Hackers managed not only to get into the server and tinker with the text on the front pages, but also to leave a stash of illegal MP3s for download from the site.
Now, this does not make the case for fellow p2p'ers any better when crackers do these kinds of things, because according to the industry, not me, pirates and crackers are one and the same. I can picture it now, "See?? We need to get rid of this evil p2p! See what it comprises of? Evil hackers!" It will just make legislation go through faster.

I am not condoning illegal swapping. There are some legit swappers out there. However, I do think it makes it bad for everybody else when crackers go out there and rub it in the industry's face with taunts and illegal downloads from the RIAA's FTP or whatever. I do not call it having "guts" or "cool." I call it pathetic.

Oh another thing that might be of interest in the near future: http://www.vnunet.com/News/1134791 will it or will it not work? We shall see...

Thanks for your time.
